Well im glad someone ended up with this, i had been watching this since it was on Gumtree about a year ago. Please tell me you paid a nice price for it ;) When it ended on ebay i sat thinking should i just bid as it had ended a couple of times with no interest.
Good purchase tho mate and can i ask if it has a coaster brake also?
Jaymz- Is it a whole bike your after or f/f? Just iv been toying with striping mine lately as works been slow ::)
-

jaymz:

-
Thats not a bad price ;)
Tbh he offered it to me cheaper as i was having a mate collect it for me but he must have then decided to sell it to you as i messaged him back about getting his address and other questions before sending the payment.
I sold a few items so i had the funds in paypal too ;D :D
Like i said glad it was you who ended up with it 8)
Jaymz- pm coming matey
-
Nice bike mate!
I bet your street is now sloping down to your house, with 2 brakedancers in your shed.
One more and you will affect the earth's rotation.
-
Cool as :coolsmiley:
-
cheers guys ;)
i have a lino floor in me shed so i think they will feel quite at home..... ;D tbh i don't think there that heavy not for cruisin any how.....they feel soild too un like the streetbeats..performers...with rizla paper drop outs...... ;)
deano i think the seller played us off against each other my first offer was £150 posted witch he said he would acceped if i comfirmed i lived in england ???
only to come back and say he had been offered £200 posted but would still let me have if i could match that price....because i asked first..
anyways still chuffed with it :daumenhoch:
still would like second refusel on the orange dancer........ 8)
-
Well i offered £150 collected and he said yes, but my relatives didnt want a green/yellow bike in there house LOL ::) politics up there ;D So i then messaged back to say £170 posted and thats where it ends as i didnt get a reply.
I did wonder if it has the oe 2 lever as it was listed but i couldnt see 2 rear calipers or lever in the pics?
Iv not pm'd Jaymz yet to see. Ill let you know tho on the orange one ;)

Ive only seen photos of it just after it had its orange powdercoat, never seen it finished

any info on this would be cool ;) all i have is a few ads and a test report.................. :( anybody?
-
been trying to find out,havnt had much luck but i know there was defo a well known english freestyler was sponsored by them and rode one.Im sure i read a test on the bike,maybe when halfords started selling them,and they had the actual rider doing the test,name Jamie Vince springs to mind but that could be wrong,was he a freestyler?oh my memory fails me(again!) :idiot2: :idiot2:someone on here will know!!
-
I really like the frame design, so different to anything else - awesome! :daumenhoch:
-

Andy Preston rode for Scorpion for a while.
I recall a magazine with a photo of him doing a "knee press" (knees on bars, feet on seat) and the caption called him a "rave from the grave". He was on a Brakedancer.
-
Im sure someone posted some info about who the rider was on my Brakedancer thread on BW.
These are a great sturdy bmx thats for sure and iv only ridden mine on the carpet :-[ ;D didnt want to mark the nos acs mags ::)
Since this thread has started iv had loads of pm's about mine and its making me like mine again :daumenhoch:
Cant wait to see this evolve, unless your keeping it as is? Does look good and for the money its a nice buy.
I think Ronnie has one of these left?

I didnt know the great AP rode for scorpion!my memory is bad but something is still telling me its not Andy Preston im thinking about.Im sure there was another english freestyler sponsored by them,sure it was a Jamie!!unless there was a someone who raced for scorpion called Jamie!i could be wrong.who was Jamie Vince?
-
The history on BW is locked in a vault now as its a fresh new forum and only a few original threads left. Think i know who p[osted it so ill pm them and see if they have the info saved somewhere.
You know i might keep it in still deciding but going through the build pics on my pc has reminded me how good it was to build and it means i can keep my 72bug i made it for :daumenhoch:
I may well stick my black tuffs on it for a blast now ;) 8) idea.
Ps i need a head badge, is yours in black n yellow?
Your Halfords one sounds great :) have you posted pics?
-
right deano
with the yellow dancer i recived a set of decals with the head badge on them the only problem is the colours on these are transparent..... :(
so when i offerd them up to the black one the paint showed through....
maybe if i send del the sheet he can scan it and make you one :daumenhoch:

a few quotes: 'stylish and innovative addition to the freestyle scene', 'radical new design in brakology', 'the possibilities are endless' 8)

cool mag not seen that before ;)
anybody else who has pictures, info.links feel free to post on here :daumenhoch:
-
Yeah iv got that mag also, but in it there was no good close ups on the brake set-up which is what i wanted to get right.
This threads going to be a real good source of info for anyone doing one in the future 8)
:daumenhoch:
-
I remember these for sale in Halfrauds (oh how we laughed) Im sure that the back brake was on the inside of the seat stays, and the lower brake was too, so you got good braking in both directions of wheel rotation

I have mine mounted top n bottom on the rear but i dont have a coaster brake aswell like it had bitd.
-

anyhow will post up some more scans i have made and a few pics of the diffrent brake set up's...... tomorrow ZZzzZZzz.....

-
Awesome mate, thats how i have my rears positioned on mine.
I need to dust mine off and get some new pictures of it up, since iv put an acs stem on it and stuff.
Those scans are great and like the title ;) i might just have to get del to do me a head badge if he can when he can.
-
cheers deano me old son :daumenhoch:
underside brake is a 750 center pull standard on halford ad bikes... as this gives more clearence on the crank
if i remember didnt you run a mx900....?
-
Yeah mate thats spot on, i wanted to try and add some nicer parts and see if i could get it all to work correct. An mx1000 wouldnt work with the crank i have (think its the original opc) as the adjuster was sticking out and fouling the crank. So i went for a 900 and its a nats winky from catching the crank.
Iv decided to keep mine now and have a tinker with it over the next few months. I have actually thought about adding some acs calipers and remove the dc's so they tie in better with the acs stem and mags/blocks.
No doubt ill be back later with pictures :P
-
cool im glad your keeping it :daumenhoch:
look foward to seeing the revised version ...
-
Steal....Great bike..
